I deal with the philosophy and methodology of cognitive science. I am the founder of the Avant Project which works for the interdisciplinary development of science and philosophy. Recently, I was a member of the team carrying out the project "Presenting science is an art" (The Social Responsibility of Science program). I completed my research project "Interactions in distributed cognitive systems and methodological individualism" (NCN grant). My present research interests include distributed cognition, cultural ecosystems, and explanation in cognitive science.
